Amojig them was the victim of the uccldentjf who is said to be a Mrs. Roper of Brooklyn. Valparaiso, next to San Francisco the most Important city on the Pacific coast of North and South America, Is built around the narrow rim of a bay that describes a semicircle. Behind the city are nineteen separate hills and mountains from 3()0 to 1,100 feet in height. The spaeft between the mountains and the water is narrow, In some places there being room enough for only a few streets. In other places the gaps between the hills have enabled the city to creep back, but at no place Is the distance between the base of the mountains and the bay greater than half a mile. Mrs. Bryan accompanied him. Miss Bryan remained on the liner. Young Donahue with throe companions of about his age started for a swim about 1 o'clock in a favorite swimming resort for small boys, under the Water street bridge near the west side. The water Is shallow at this point as far out as the second pier, the first being entirely out of the water. Between the second and third piers a raft with a diving board is George 11.

Besides Donahue, the party was composed of young Dane, Orville Frame, aged about 13 years, of Carroll street, and John Martin, aged about 11 years, of Carroll street. The raft they wished to reach is located midway between the piers and is on a line with the north walk of the bridge. The yoking swimmers started out for the raft swimming of necessity against the current. Frame and young Martin seemed to have little trouble, but Donahue and Dane found the current too strong for them. As Dane said after he was saved, "The waves were too big for us." Segal put up his holdings in Altoona, Ph., at auction. They were reported to be worth #1.800,000, but under the luuumer they realized only $500,000.

The new railroad and the concessions which accompanied the right of way granted by the Haitian government have every appearance of proving a bonotiza for the investors. William J. Merrill, of Philadelphia, who was one of the promoters of the enterprise and who is one of the largest stockholders, was in this city yesterday and today for the purpose of distributing stocks and bonds among those who had placed their money in the enterprise, This distribution was made in accordance with the agreement or guarantee on which the stock was sold, which provided for a partial distribution of stocks and bonds on the completion of the first section of the railroad. A large number of Pittstonians are interested in the enterprise, and more than $100,000 worth CDf stock is held here, some individuals holding $10,- 000 blocks, and there* being several who have $5,000 In the venture. Mr. Merrill gave to each stockholder tin* value of his Investment, dollar for dollar, In six per cent, gold bearing bonds guaranteed by the Haitian governement, also stock to the amount of $10 for every $1 invested. The interest on the bonds is payable semi-annually on the first of August and the first of February. Injury In an instant she was lifted off her feet, and then, to the horror of every one, she was lifted from the gfound. Men, believing she would drop, rushed below to be ready to catch her. The woman apparently had been frightened to such an extent that she could not scream, and as the sec3uds went by and she tiling from the rope those below began to think it was part of the performance, and they set up a loud cheer for her. The will of Frank Iv. Hippie has been filed. The document was executed July 1, 1900," and is brief, giving all to Mr. Hippie's son, F. Wharton Hippie. The estate is given us "personal property, $100,000 and upward, and real estate, $30,000." Engine No. 900 on the Lehigh Valley railroad, which operates as a pusher for htDavy trains fiver the cutoff branch, had a very unlucky day yesterday. As a result It is now in an upside-down condition in a ditch in Coxton yard. Fortunately its crew, consisting of Engineer George Hapeman, of this city, and two firemen, escaped any Injuries. 1st.

That the paid county of Luzerne constitutes I the Eleventh congressional district! of Pennsylvania. The sou had a rough experience when he emerged from the bank building. A man In the crowd saw him and shouted: The current was running quite swiftly and the two boys were carried down stream. Donahue continued to call for help and was quickly weakening. The people who gathered seemed at'.i loss wh.'U to do, the boats about being all locked up. Finally some men on the east bank broke the lock of a boat and started for the boys. By this time they had floated down to a point opposite Hughes ale brewery. Dane was nearest to the rescuers and they made for him. pulling him from the water in a weakened condition. After hauling Dane out they turned for Donahue but he had disappeared. A couple of dozen people watched him disappear for the last time, after he had gone down and then come to the surface several times in his last struggles. water. The first trouble occurred about 5:15 o'cloek last evening. Engine No. 960 was standing along the cutoff tracks at Upper Pittston a short distance below the bridge where the Valley tracks pass over those of the D., Li. & W. R. R. The crew was waiting for a signal giving them the right of way to enter Coxton yard, after coming in from a trip over the cutoff. Suddenly the engine's crew were startled to "hear a racket behind, and on turning saw a lone car dashing down the track at terrific speed. The crew saved themselves by jumping. The car crashed Into the engine, which was of the heavy type. The locomotive was damaged scarcely not at all, but the car was wrecked. The wrecking crew from Coxton was brought to the scene and cleared away the wreckage. The runaway car was o fthe gondola type and had been standing on a siding at Handler's quarry about eight miles from Coxton. There Is a heavy grade on the road from Handler's to Coxton, and th« runaway attained a high speed. Fortunately air the crossings alopg the line were clear, and no mishaps were met with until the car reached Pittston."There goes the son of the rogue who said he hud no faith in men who sihoke cigars and chew tobacco!" Miss Dulley realized that the balloon was dragging, and she took the cheers for a warning cry and looked below. At oiui* she huw the woman and with great presence of mind pulled the valve of the bag. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN, the lllini and will remain In Gruvesend bay until this afternoon, when the yacht will steam to Manhattan and Mr. Bry»p will land at pier A. Immediately a inob took up the cry and made a rush for young Hippie. For a few moments it looked as though he would be roughly handled, but the police succeeded in beating the mob buck. 3d. That the Jsaid certificate Is not in compliance with law, but is upon the face thereof manifestly defective and ought not to have been filed at all. for the reason that blank form of certificate prepared and furnished by the secretary of the Commonwealth in pursuance of law requires a certificate that "the following nomination was made," but in the said paper falsely purporting to be a certificate of nomination of Bennett J. Cobielgh, the word "made" is crossed out and the word "declared" written in place thereof, the persons who signed the same as officers or alleged officers of said convention of delegates being man'festly and very properly unwilling to swear that the nomination of Bennett J. Cobielgh Struck Against Fence, Before leaving the Prlnzess Irene Mr. Bryan gave an Interview In which he said: The bug descended and made straight for the old racecourse, around which Is built a high l'ence. The aeronaut had no time to pull in the'rope. Within a few moments she was within a hundred feet of the* ground. Then the balloon stopped suddenly. Looking below, .Miss Dalley saw that her human anchor had struck against the fence with terrific force and was being dragged along the race course. Hope For Church's Funds, .Tolm II. Converse, a director of the company and one of the foremost I'resbytcrlnn laymen in the country, upon whose petition the receiver was appointed, said he was satisfied that the securities of the various Presbyterian church boards are safe. "Notwithstanding that I have been quite seasick during the trip and that I have worked hard preparing my articles for publication and devoting my time to the preparation of the speech which I am to deliver at the reception In New York, I have enjoyed my trip very much. I do not wish to discuss politics before I do so in this speech." The Presbyterian hospital, of which Sir. Illpple was treasurer, elected the Fidelity Trust company us his successor and through that concern learned that the institution's securities, amounting to $1,500,000, are intact. It is believed that the securities of the board of trustees of the general assembly are equally safe. Without hesitation the young woman leaped from the basket when she was within twenty-five feet of the ground and, sliding down the rope, released the then unconscious woman. The balloon then ascended again, but Miss Dalley paid no attention to It, doing all she could for the injured woman. The balloon was recovered later. Young Dane was taken a«hore little the worse for his experience. He said after he bad fully recovered that he couldn't have kept up much longer and that lie felt a terrible headache coming on him the last few minutes he was in the water. He lives on Center street and is a son of Michael Dane. "Will you announce yourself as a candidate for the presidency?" he was asked. Bennett J. Cobleigh was not nominated for representative in Congress by the said convention of delegates, a.id if anybody at any time or in any manner "declared" his nomilution such declaration was contrary to the fact, Illegal, invalid and of no fJrce or effect whatever. was actually inadr 4 th "No. I wrote a letter to former Senator James K. Jones eight weeks ago, nud If you read that letter you will tlnd that It announces what I Intend to do." Mr. Merrill reported that one section of the railroad, 12% miles long, had been completed, and was now In operation, and that locomotives manufactured at the Vulcan Iron Works in Wllkesbarre are being operated on it. Work has now been commenced 011 two more sections of the railroad. 'Die line runs through the very heart of the island in a country that is rich in mahogany timber and minerals. The enterprise has every indication of being a big success, and a handsome investment for the stockholders. G. B. Hommell, of this city, is the president of the company. The drowned boy could swim quite well for his age. He Is survived by his mother and step-father, Mr. and Mrs. James Newcomb. by one brother Frank, two sisters, May and Helen. It developed that Mr. Ilipplo liad on deposit for varlotfc Presbyterian church organizations $150,000 in cash. Included In this was the sum of $10,000 deposited by the Woman's Foreign Missionary society, to be used in building a home for rescued "white slaves" In San Francisco. Would Accept Nomination. The crowd at the fair grounds had realized that the accident was no part of the performance, and scores of teams were driven over to where Miss Dalley and the victim of -the accident had left the basket. The woman was lifted into a carriage and taken to the home of Dr. Alice Devine, where her frlouds found her. After several hours Bhe recovered consciousness and was taken to Walker Valley In an improvised ambulance. After escaping damage by the runaway, engine No. 1)60 proceeded toward Coxton. Before entering the yard, however, it \\as switched to the ash track to empty the ash box. Workmen had been busy all day yesterday laying out a new ash track just west'of the O. X. tower, Apparently the material for filling in beneath the tracks did not pack well. As the heavy engine started over the newly-laid track a slight sagging was felt. The crew realized there was something wrong, and jumped. Gradually the track continued sinking beneath the heavy weight and finally sagged more on one side than the other. In a few minutes, the engine toppled over on its side, down a small embankment, and landed bottomside up. It was still in that position this morning, no effort having been made to raise it. "Would you accept the nomination If offered you?" 5th. At the said convention of delegates hel.l at the 9th Regt. armory, in the Tenth ward of the city of Wilkesbarre, county of Luzerne, on the 26th day of June, A. D. 1906, the undersigned, Henry W. Palmer, received the votes cf a majority of all the delegates £«nd was duly and regularly nominated as the candidate of 'he Republican party, for representative in Congress of the United States for the Klovtlilh district of Pennsylvania and was and is the only person entitled t D rave filed a certificate of nomination for such office and to havj his name printed upon the otli .ial "I have said that I would accept the nomination under certain conditions, and they are expressed In ray letter to former Senator Jones." Shortly after the drowning several boat.* were put into the water and a search made for the body. "Has your attitude changed since you wrote that letter?" The body of the boy was found at 4 o'clock this afternoon by one of the men diving for it. It was located only a short distance from where the boy went down for the last time. Since the failure of the trust company it has been learned that only a few months ago the institution was under consideration ns a possible depository for the foreign missionary funds of the Fresbyteriau church. The influence of Mr. Illpple, it is said, might have eventually prevailed. The annual contributions to foreign missions amount to over $1,200,000, and its surplus on hand always equals half that amount. Mr. Bryan would not answer this question directly, but replied that he had announced himself a candidate under certain conditions. A boy swimming in the river this morning in the vicinity where young Donahue was drowned had a narrow escape and was saved only by the presence of mind of some one on the bridge. The boy, who was 13 years old, started for the diving board and when he got half way out found that he could not make it. He at once became frightened and would have drowned in a short time had not some one thrown' a board from the bridge. He held grimly to this and kept afloat until George Colbeck, of Butler street, with a boat rowed out and picked him up. Another Narrow Kscapr GERMAN DAY.

Ono of the many rumors was that the local banks had voted a plan to raise a guarantee fund of $7,000,000 with which to rehabilitate the trust company, but this could not be verified.
